Your genome isn't really secret.

I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.

One of the most exciting aspects of 23andMe is that we're enabling you to watch a revolution unfold live during your lifetime, and I think that the decoding of the genome, in my opinion, is the most fascinating discovery of our lifetime, and you get to be part of it.

I fell in love with the elegance and precision of genetic analysis and experimentation to answer profound biological questions.

What I really wanted was for everybody to have their genome and, ideally, everybody to share their genome, and for that, we needed to bring the price way down.

I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet.

Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness.

I'm fascinated with genetic science, and I have been for a very long time. I always look at science and technology because I think that the developments in my lifetime have been so remarkable - and we're only at the tip of the iceberg with projects like decoding the human genome.

Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do.
